0:00:05 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37And challenging our resident quiz champions today are Composite.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40This team of friends have been quizzing together for over 20 years
0:00:40 > 0:00:43and currently meet up every Wednesday to test their brainpower
0:00:43 > 0:00:47at the Mexborough Arms in the village of Thorner, near Leeds.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Don. I'm 74. I'm a retired lecturer and dentist.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm David. I'm 56 and I've been a dentist for 33 years.
0:00:58 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Mal. I'm 60 and I've been a dentist for 38 years.
0:01:03 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Paul. I'm 58 and I'm a commercial operations manager.
0:01:08 > 0:01:14Hi, I'm Edward. I'm 69 and I've been a dentist for 43 years.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- So, Don, team, welcome. Good to see you.- Thank you.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22- And you are big quizzers, I can tell.- Well, weekly quizzers.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- Very regular quizzers. - ALL:- Very regular.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26The name Composite is crucial
0:01:26 > 0:01:30because you are all dentists or retired dentists, is that right?
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Except for Paul. Paul's our newest arrival.
0:01:33 > 0:01:39Composite is a dental material, tooth-filler dental material,
0:01:39 > 0:01:44and it's also a composite of dentists plus Paul.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46I see. A bit of an amalgam?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Well, that was the original name.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51So when you quiz, do you win?
0:01:51 > 0:01:56- Fairly frequently.- Good. We have a contest.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:58 > 0:02:00up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize-money
0:02:03 > 0:02:04rolls over to the next show.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08So, Composite, it was a bit of a painful one for the Eggheads
0:02:08 > 0:02:11the last show and they crashed out
0:02:11 > 0:02:15on a question about the Costa Rican national airline.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18The challengers won. It proves it can be done, of course.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22It means the jackpot for you today is...
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Do you want to get cracking?
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- Can we?- OK, the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Sport.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Who would like this?
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- What do you think?- David.- We've got to put David.- David on Sport.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38- Which Egghead would you like to take on, David? Any of them.- Chris.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- Chris, please.- Right, that usually puts him in a good mood.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Your ticket's booked on Lacsa, I tell you.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51So, David from Composite versus Chris from the Eggheads,
0:02:51 > 0:02:53to ensure there's no conferring
0:02:53 > 0:02:56would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Good luck. It's Sport, and would you like to go first or second?
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Please can I go first?
0:03:04 > 0:03:09Here we go. Which heavyweight boxer was jailed in 1999 after a road rage
0:03:09 > 0:03:11attack on two motorists?
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Mike Tyson was jailed for something else, I think.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Lennox Lewis I'm sure has a clean record.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26I would think, therefore, Jeremy, I'll go for Evander Holyfield,
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- although I'm not fully convinced. - It's interesting.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- I don't have much of a memory of this but it is Mike Tyson.- Right.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35OK, Chris.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Which footballer, born in 1940,
0:03:38 > 0:03:43scored a record 77 goals for the Brazilian national football team?
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Er... well Jairzinho and Zico are both later than that.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55So, born in 1940, it's got to be Pele.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00Pele is the right answer, well done. Back to you, David.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Which Paralympian became a dame in the 2013 New Year Honours List?
0:04:10 > 0:04:15Of the three, it's got to be Tanni Grey-Thompson, Jeremy.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Let's see if your team knows. Is he right with this?
0:04:17 > 0:04:21- I think she was already a dame, wasn't she?- I think she was already.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- What do you think?- Ellie Simmonds. - It's not Ellie Simmonds.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- Sarah Storey it is. - Sarah Storey, yes. Sorry.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30If you get this right, Chris, you've taken the round.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Which of these golfers has won the Open Championship
0:04:32 > 0:04:34on the most occasions?
0:04:37 > 0:04:43Yeah. That was...not Tom Watson, not Jack Nicklaus.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44Gary Player.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49- Not Gary Player, not Jack Nicklaus. Tom Watson.- Tom Watson.- He was five.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51So he is the right answer. OK, David.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54He's let you off the hook but you need to get this one right.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59The Basin Reserve is a Test cricket ground in which country?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Basin is spelt B-A-S-I-N, as you'd expect.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Well, Jeremy, as I play cricket, I should know this,
0:05:08 > 0:05:11but at the moment I'm having to have a think.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16I've got a feeling it's New Zealand, Jeremy.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Well done, you've got it right. It is New Zealand. OK, over to Chris.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23If you get this one right, Chris, you're in the final.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26The British athlete Robbie Grabarz
0:05:26 > 0:05:30won a medal in which field event at the 2012 Olympics?
0:05:36 > 0:05:40I think he's a shot-putter. Shot put.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Oh, heads in hands at this end.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47- Help us, Eggs. - ALL:- High jump.- High jump.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50So, you're equal after three questions with one point each.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52We go to sudden death, David. It gets a bit harder.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56I don't give you alternatives. Here is your first sudden death question.
0:05:56 > 0:06:03Which footballer won his fourth successive Fifa Ballon d'Or in 2013?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Lionel Messi, Jeremy.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Lionel Messi is correct. Well done.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Chris, your question. An emotional Murray Walker said,
0:06:12 > 0:06:14"I've got to stop because I've got a lump in my throat,"
0:06:14 > 0:06:18when commentating on the Formula One World Championship win
0:06:18 > 0:06:20of which driver?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Um...
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Jackie Stewart?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Do you know this one, David?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- I think it's Damon Hill. - Yes, it is Damon Hill.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Sorry, Chris, you've been knocked out.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31Well done, David.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Oh, I thought you were on the edge there.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39And then you came back, well done. So you're in the final round
0:06:39 > 0:06:42and you've ousted Chris from the final round.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Please, both of you rejoin your team-mates.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48So, very good work by David there
0:06:48 > 0:06:51and that was the rope-a-dope technique, wasn't it?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53I think I was the dope.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56So, Composite have not lost a brain and the Eggheads have lost Chris.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00How about that for a start? The next subject is Politics.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- Who would like this?- Edward or Paul? - Edward.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09- Would you do this, Edward?- OK. All right.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Who've we got?- It's me, Jeremy. - Edward, OK.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Who would you like, Edward?- Ah, right.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17I'll try Dave, please.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Edward from Composite versus Dave from the Eggheads.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Please take your positions now.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Edward, Politics is the subject. Do you want to go first or second?
0:07:26 > 0:07:27I'll go first, please.
0:07:31 > 0:07:36Here is your question. What are the names of Barack Obama's children?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47I must say I'm not very sure about this.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49I don't think it's Martha and Anna.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54And I don't think it's Barbara and Jenna.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57So it's Malia and Sasha, I'll go for.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Me-lia or Ma-lia and Sasha...
0:07:59 > 0:08:02is the right answer, well done.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Dave, your question. Which patriotic song,
0:08:06 > 0:08:10with words by Robert Burns, is used to close SNP conferences?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20I'm looking for something else.
0:08:21 > 0:08:26By Robert Burns? I don't know.
0:08:26 > 0:08:32It's disgraceful here. I've got to go. Not The Skye Boat Song, surely.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35I'll go for The Thistle Of Scotland.
0:08:35 > 0:08:40OK, we've got a bit of Eggheads information coming, I'm feeling it,
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- Dave, from the desk here. Eggs? - Scots Wha Hae.- Scots Wha Hae.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47"Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled."
0:08:47 > 0:08:51- Dave, you'll have to leave through the back exit.- Yes.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56Scots Wha Hae is the right answer. OK, Edward that's handy, isn't it?
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- It is.- You're ahead and you've only answered one question.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01Here's your second.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05In March 2013, Theresa May announced that which executive
0:09:05 > 0:09:09agency of the Home Office, formed five years previously,
0:09:09 > 0:09:12was to be scrapped because it was not good enough?
0:09:20 > 0:09:24I'm pretty sure it's the UK Border Agency
0:09:24 > 0:09:26because they've never done a very good job.
0:09:26 > 0:09:31The UK Border Agency is the right answer. Yeah.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Dave, your question.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39Which role did the American politician John Kerry assume in February 2013?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47He's not the Attorney General. He's not the Secretary of Defense.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50It was the Secretary of State.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Secretary of State, yes.
0:09:52 > 0:09:57OK, Edward your question. Get this one right, you've taken the round.
0:09:57 > 0:10:04When did Augustus Henry FitzRoy, 3rd Duke of Grafton, become British Prime Minister?
0:10:12 > 0:10:16I think it was too early to be a Prime Minister in 1668.
0:10:16 > 0:10:191868 would have been one of Victoria's prime ministers,
0:10:19 > 0:10:22so I'm going for 1768.
0:10:22 > 0:10:261768 is completely right. Well done to you.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- Dave, you've been knocked out.- Yeah.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34And if you both come back to us, we will play on.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Oh, Composite are playing very well here.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38They have not lost a brain from the final round
0:10:38 > 0:10:42and the first two Eggheads to go into the Question Room
0:10:42 > 0:10:45have been...what's the correct dental term - extracted?
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- ALL:- Extracted.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51The next subject is Science. Who wants to take Science?
0:10:51 > 0:10:56- This has got to be good, surely. - Come on, boys.- Should we?- You go.
0:10:56 > 0:11:01- Go on, Mal.- I'll do Science. - Mal against which Egghead?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06I'll have Pat, I think.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09So, Mal from Composite versus Pat from the Eggheads.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Please, both of you, go to the Question Room.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Is Science your thing, Mal?
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- It is, yes.- That's good. Why so?
0:11:17 > 0:11:23Well, I suppose it's the background from which most of us are from,
0:11:23 > 0:11:30so we were all down to have a go at it, and I was one of the few left.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34- By default, I think.- All right, great. Good luck on Science.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, Jeremy.
0:11:40 > 0:11:46Here we go. In which part of the world do giant pandas live naturally in the wild?
0:11:50 > 0:11:54I think I'd immediately rule out Africa.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01And I don't think they would be right for South America either.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06I think... They often have Chinese-sounding names,
0:12:06 > 0:12:09so I'm going to go for Asia.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Asia is the correct answer. Nicely done.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Pat, your first question.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17In what state does nitrogen exist at room temperature?
0:12:20 > 0:12:25At room temperature it makes up about three quarters
0:12:25 > 0:12:29of the Earth's atmosphere and it's a gas.
0:12:29 > 0:12:34Gas is right. Back to you, Mal.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Which of these planets has the largest diameter?
0:12:42 > 0:12:47I don't think it's Uranus. I think that is a fairly small planet.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52I think I'm going to go for Saturn.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Saturn is the right answer.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Pat, your question. The botanist Joseph Hooker was the best friend
0:13:00 > 0:13:02of which famous scientific figure?
0:13:08 > 0:13:13I don't know this for certain at all. I'm going to go with Charles Darwin.
0:13:13 > 0:13:19Charles Darwin is actually correct. So, two each. Tight round.
0:13:20 > 0:13:25Mal. Marie Curie won her first Nobel Prize in which category?
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Mm. Erm...
0:13:36 > 0:13:38I think it's either chemistry or physics.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46She had a lot to do with X-ray technology,
0:13:46 > 0:13:48so I'm going to go for physics.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51Physics is correct.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56You're playing well, Mal. So, Pat's up against it here.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Let's see if he stays in. The Difference Engine and the
0:13:59 > 0:14:03Analytical Engine were designed by which 19th-century inventor?
0:14:08 > 0:14:13I think they were mechanical calculating devices.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15I'm not sure they were both actually built
0:14:15 > 0:14:19but they were designed by the remarkable Charles Babbage.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Charles Babbage is correct. Well done.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26OK, we go to sudden death. Three each so it gets a bit harder.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29I don't give you alternatives, Mal.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Turdus merula is the scientific name for which
0:14:33 > 0:14:36common European garden bird?
0:14:36 > 0:14:41Turdus is T-U-R-D-U-S. Merula is M-E-R-U-L-A. Turdus merula.
0:14:45 > 0:14:51Just...I hope an inspired guess here. The long-tailed tit.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53No, the blackbird.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Pat, your question for the round.
0:14:56 > 0:15:02Arnaldo Tamayo Mendez, who flew on Soyuz 38 in 1980,
0:15:02 > 0:15:06was the first person from which country to go into space?
0:15:06 > 0:15:11Well, it's, at first glance, quite a Hispanic name.
0:15:11 > 0:15:17Cuba's probably the most famous Spanish-speaking communist country.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22I think I'll have to go with Cuba.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Pat, you're right. It is Cuba. Sorry, Mal.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27He's knocked you out there on sudden death but you played very,
0:15:27 > 0:15:30very well, I must say. Pat will be in the final round.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Both of you, please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37So, as it stands, Composite have lost one brain from the final round
0:15:37 > 0:15:40whilst the Eggheads have lost two brains.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Our last subject before that final is Music.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- Who's the music person, Paul or Don?- It's going to be me, Jeremy.
0:15:47 > 0:15:52- OK, Don, against which Egghead? - Daphne. She's smiling nicely.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57She always smiles nicely. Do not be lured by that smile.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02Don from Composite versus Daphne from the Eggheads on Music.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Well, she loves her musicals. That's the way to her heart.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- She does.- Please go to the Question Room now.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11So, Music, Don. Would you like to go first or second?
0:16:11 > 0:16:12I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19The American pop singer Taylor Swift went through a much-publicised
0:16:19 > 0:16:24break-up at the start of 2013 with which member of the group One Direction?
0:16:30 > 0:16:33I haven't a clue, to be honest.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Um...I'll go for Harry Styles.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- Harry Styles is correct.- Oh!
0:16:40 > 0:16:43He's very, very famous, and so's she. OK, Daphne.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47Which of these famous composers was born first?
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Oh!
0:16:52 > 0:16:53Erm, Handel.
0:16:55 > 0:17:00Handel is the right answer. Over to you, Don.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02"I, I will be king and you,
0:17:02 > 0:17:06"you will be queen," are lines in which David Bowie song?
0:17:12 > 0:17:16I don't think it's Space Oddity.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Um...I'll go for Heroes.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19Heroes is correct.
0:17:24 > 0:17:29Daphne, the jazz musician Theodore "Fats" Navarro
0:17:29 > 0:17:32was best known for his expertise on which instrument?
0:17:38 > 0:17:39Vibraphone.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42No, it's trumpet, Daphne.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46She's given you a little way in there, Don.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Get the drill out.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52In Mozart's opera The Marriage Of Figaro, Figaro is
0:17:52 > 0:17:54the valet of which character?
0:17:59 > 0:18:03I'll go for Bartolo.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Is he right, Daphne?
0:18:05 > 0:18:06Almaviva.
0:18:06 > 0:18:11Almaviva it is, Don. Let's see if you've missed your chance.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Daphne, with your third question. To stay in.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18Try This, I'm Not Dead
0:18:18 > 0:18:22and The Truth About Love are albums by which singer?
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Pink?
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Pink is the right answer. So you're level after three questions.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32We go to sudden death. Gets a bit harder.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34I don't give you alternatives, Don.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37What is the usual English title of the waltz known as
0:18:37 > 0:18:42An Der Schonen Blauen Donau, Op.314?
0:18:42 > 0:18:43The Blue Danube.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46The Blue Danube is correct.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Daphne, your question. Which 1972 UK top 10 hit single
0:18:51 > 0:18:53for the Shangri-Las features the lines,
0:18:53 > 0:18:55"I met him at the candy store.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59"He turned around and smiled at me. You get the picture?"
0:18:59 > 0:19:00Is it Leader Of The Pack?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03It is Leader Of The Pack, yes.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05# I met him at the candy store... # That one.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08OK, Don.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12The Coney Island Waltz and Till I Hear You Sing
0:19:12 > 0:19:16are songs from which Andrew Lloyd Webber musical?
0:19:17 > 0:19:21- Sorry, Jeremy. I don't know. - Nothing?- No.- A guess?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Andrew Lloyd Webber musical.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals have gone out of my mind completely.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Don't Cry For Me Argentina.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40- Do you know, Daphne? - Is it Love Never Dies?
0:19:40 > 0:19:45Love Never Dies is the answer. Sequel to Phantom Of The Opera.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48OK, Daphne, with this question you can get in the final.
0:19:48 > 0:19:54Which group had a 1977 UK top five album called News Of The World?
0:19:56 > 0:19:57Queen?
0:19:57 > 0:20:03- How do you do that?- Was it? Is that right?- Yes, it's right.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08- How do you do that?- I don't know. It just popped into my head.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12It's not even that well-known, even if you are a Queen fan.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17- Oh.- Queen is the right answer. Daphne, Daphne.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19You are an absolute wonder and I'm sorry, Don.
0:20:19 > 0:20:25- OK.- You know, suddenly the drill's buzzing and she's got the gown on.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29It just happens all of a sudden. She is a mighty player.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Don, you've been knocked out. Daphne, you're in the final.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36If you both come back to us, we will play that final round.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41It is time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be
0:20:44 > 0:20:50allowed to take part in this round, so Don and Mal from Composite
0:20:50 > 0:20:52and Dave and Chris from the Eggheads,
0:20:52 > 0:20:55would you please now leave the studio?
0:20:56 > 0:21:00David, Paul and Edward, you are playing to win Composite £1,000.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Daphne, Barry and Pat, you are playing for something that
0:21:02 > 0:21:06money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn. This time the
0:21:09 > 0:21:13questions are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17So, Composite, the question is, can you with your three brains
0:21:17 > 0:21:19defeat the Eggheads' three over here?
0:21:19 > 0:21:22And they've come off the back of a bad defeat, so let's see.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Would you like to go first or second?
0:21:24 > 0:21:27We'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32OK, Paul and team, good luck to you.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36What term is used to refer to a drain or pipe that allows water
0:21:36 > 0:21:37to flow under a road?
0:21:42 > 0:21:46- Culvert.- Yes. Happy with that?
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Yeah. Culvert.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Culvert is the right answer.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Eggheads. Which of these historical figures lived most recently?
0:22:01 > 0:22:06- Genghis Khan.- Genghis Khan.- Genghis Khan, yes.- 12th to 13th century.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11It was Genghis Khan, who lived in the 12th century.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15You're absolutely right. It was Genghis Khan. Well done.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18OK. Composite.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22The International Baccalaureate, an educational foundation
0:22:22 > 0:22:27commonly known as the IB, was founded in 1968 in which city?
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- That was Geneva. - I would've thought Geneva.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39One came up and I didn't see it, so I would go with you two.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Should we go for that then?
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Yeah, we are agreed on Geneva, Jeremy.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Geneva is the right answer, well done. Two out of two.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49Here we go, the Eggheads.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Are they going to get the willies?
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Valencia is a city in which part of Spain?
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- It's down in the South, isn't it? - It's on the Med.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03- It's definitely not the North. - It must be the East.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07It's about halfway down, below Barcelona. It's above Malaga.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11It's got a province, the community of Valencia surrounding it.
0:23:11 > 0:23:17Let's make sure we get this right. The Med is the East coast.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- Not North, not West.- Yeah.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Valencia is on the East coast.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25East is correct. Well done.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Back to you. Third question can be crucial.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34In 2007, which comedian became the regular presenter of
0:23:34 > 0:23:38the Radio Four panel show, The Unbelievable Truth?
0:23:41 > 0:23:43- You said that straightaway. - David Mitchell.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46We are sure of this one. David Mitchell.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49You've done very well with your three questions.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51You've got them all right. David Mitchell is correct.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54OK, Eggs. Here we are again.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59The Kamehameha Dynasty ruled over which island group
0:23:59 > 0:24:01during the 19th century?
0:24:05 > 0:24:09It's spelt K-A-M-E-H-A-M-E-H-A.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14The Liliuokalani was the last ruler in that dynasty.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17It's a pretty Hawaiian-sounding name. I think it's Hawaii.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20When it was still a kingdom, for want of a better word,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22before it became part of the States.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- We're all agreed then?- Yeah.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Yes, we're all agreed. We think that is Hawaii.
0:24:29 > 0:24:37Phew. Hawaii is right. So, you've taken them to sudden death.
0:24:37 > 0:24:42I don't give you alternative answers now. Take your time, guys.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Playing for £1,000.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48What is the only American state to be named after a US president?
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- ALL:- Washington State.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Washington State, Jeremy.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Washington State is correct.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Eggheads.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Which country derives its name from the first
0:25:04 > 0:25:10syllables of the names of Tanganyika and Zanzibar?
0:25:10 > 0:25:15- Tanzania. Where else?- Exactly.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18From Tanganyika and Zanzibar, you can only go to Tanzania,
0:25:18 > 0:25:19so that's our answer.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Tanzania is the right answer. Well done.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25Over to you.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29In the 1950s what alliterative name was given to
0:25:29 > 0:25:36the period between 6pm and 7pm when no television was broadcast
0:25:36 > 0:25:38so that young children could be put to bed?
0:25:40 > 0:25:43- BOTH:- Happy hour?
0:25:44 > 0:25:48- Quiet hour? - Not alliterative.- Oh, alliterative.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52- Night-time? Bedtime? - That's not alliterative.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54I think it might be happy hour.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56I think it might be where happy hour came from.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- It's a good answer to put in.- Yes. Should we go for that? Yes.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03- It's as good as any.- OK. Go for that.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07- We're not sure, but we're going to go with happy hour.- Happy hour.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10I don't know whether that's alliterative, strictly speaking.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Although they're both "Hs".
0:26:12 > 0:26:14It's not that. Do you know?
0:26:14 > 0:26:19- Toddlers' Truce?- Toddlers' Truce.- Oh, no.- In the '50s.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- 6pm to 7pm. Isn't that amazing? No TV.- No TV.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24So you could put the kids to bed.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27So it gives the Eggheads a chance now. Get this right
0:26:27 > 0:26:29and you're back on track. You've won the contest.
0:26:29 > 0:26:35Weary Willie and who else were the lead characters
0:26:35 > 0:26:42in a cartoon strip in the magazine Illustrated Chips from 1896 to 1953?
0:26:44 > 0:26:51It's something like Weary Willie and Tired Tim, Tom.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56Weary Willie and...Tim? I can't...
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- I've never heard of this, I'm afraid.- I'm afraid I don't know...
0:27:02 > 0:27:06It's one that we're probably... I would go for Tim.
0:27:06 > 0:27:11Tired Tim, because at least that has some sort of resonance.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Daphne is the only one of us who has got any sort of inkling here
0:27:14 > 0:27:20and we're going to go for Tired Tim. Weary Willie and Tired Tim.
0:27:20 > 0:27:25Tired Tim. That's not just a name made up in your head, Daphne?
0:27:25 > 0:27:30- I don't know.- Where did you get it from?- I don't know.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34I always ask you this and you never know. I don't know why I ask.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36The artist was called Tom Brown,
0:27:36 > 0:27:40which may have been your Tom, but full credit to you.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44You've got it completely right. The answer is Tired Tim.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Well done, Eggheads. We say congratulations. You have won.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56You really never cease to amaze, Daphne.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59It's almost as if you didn't know what you're looking for and you
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- just found it.- Yes.- It's electronic.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03We have said before, haven't we
0:28:03 > 0:28:06that your brain should be donated to science?
0:28:06 > 0:28:10- But after you die, not before.- Yes. - Commiserations, Composite.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- That's what they do. That's what they're good at.- Inspired.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:15 > 0:28:19and they reigned supreme over quiz land again.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Sticky game last time but let's say no more about that.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24I'm afraid it means you won't be going home with
0:28:24 > 0:28:27the £1,000 so the money now rolls over to our next show.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:30 > 0:28:34Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38£2,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
